of success. HE says: THE UNIvERsAL1sT.
the white-winged messenger of love and

Rev. A. A. Thsyer writes us, that at the
meeting of the Baptist State Convention
recently at Usage, Ia, his pulpit was
filled by Rev. A. W. Fuller, pastor OF the
Baptist church at Vinton, who preached
most acceptable and able sermon.
Members of the Convention were enter
tanned by Uuiversalist families and moth
ing but fraternal feeling was manifested
all round.
Mr. j. e. SANFORD, long and we'll
known by his faithful work in st. Paups
church, Chicago, was united in marriage,
Oct. 10, to Miss Morse, of Fort Atkinson,
Wis. Br. Sanford and his wife will re-
ceive the hearty congratulation of wide
circle of friends, in the church and out
of it, upon this happy event of their lives.
On the return of the newly-married couple
to their home, they found awaiting them,
among many elegant gifts, a we'll selected
library of standard authors, the gift of
many friends in st. PauIs church.
A short time ago, Rev. Miss Garard
was presented with an elegant plush
Photographic album by the members of
her Sabbath. school class; and recently
she was surprised to receive large and
finely executed bust photograph of herself,
set in handsome frame-the gift of the
following named gentlemen: Fred Bar
mum, Charles Puddifoot, Gus Kahn,
James Davis and Frank Boyer. Miss
Garard is held in the highest regard by
the young people of Morrison and to her
these tokens of esteem are very touching
and full Of meaning. AS the time draws
near when the lady shall leave the city
the general regret becomes more mani
fest, and the simple presentation of these
gifts are among the many evidences of
the appreciation of her worth as one
who lives and teaches all that is best in
manhood and womanhood.

and gentlemen, the pastor of the Detroit

Intervening named the committee planned

greatly surprised when they found that

only prepared the lunch tables, but had
trimmed the rooms with vines and flow.
ers and put in proper place a handsome
new sideboard, upon which a snug little
purse for Mrs. Rexford was placed-a
birthday gift we may add,-presents from
members of the society and other warm
friends. The Mehan Quartet and others
furnished most excellent music, all of
which made the evening a most enjoy
able one to those who had the pleasure
of being present. We extend personal
congratulations to DIR. and Mrs. Rextord
on this, as the ladies say, perfectly love-
